Be it known that I, RICHARD SCHOCH, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at New ark, in the county of Essex and State o'f New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metal Cloth for Purses, Chatelaine-Bags, die. ga'nd I do hereby declare the following tohe a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The objects of this invention are to secure a metal cloth adapted for chatelaine-bags or other purses which will be of unique appearof solder in the production of such metal cloth, to reduce the cost of construction, and to secure other advantages and results, some of which may be referred'tohereinafter in connection with the description of the working parts.

The invention consists the improved and in the arrangements and combinations of parts of the same, all substantially as will be hereinafter set forth, and finali y embraced in the clauses of the. claim. v

Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each of the several views, Figure 1 is aside elevation of a chatelaine-bag employing; the cloth of my imf proved construction. Fig. 2 is a detail view of a collection of links, on a greatly-enlarged scale, to show the construction of the cloth more clearly. Fig. 3 is a side view of the same. Fig. 4 is a plan of what I call the the said pearl linkin rear elevation struck of one of the links for connecting the pearls Fig. 8 is a detail of a link for connecting two pearls. Fig. 9 is a view of a 4connecting-link adapted to be ern'- ployed as a stone-setting; and Fig. l0 is a rear view showing the connection of the stonese'ral No. 60,282. (No model.)

setting link and other parts, all as will be hereinafter more fully described.

In said drawings, a indicates a bag or purse of any suitable design or construction. b indicates the metal cloth from which the body of the said bag is constructed.

c indicates the pearl links, and d the connesting -links. Said pearl links comprise plates of metal (shown in detail in blank in Fig. 4) having a series of arms o' c', which are iirst bent up, as indicated in Fig. 6, so that the plate is cupped or made concave* convex, and at the periphery ofthe pearl are provided with a series of sockets c2, into which the shank d of the connecting-link d may. pass. The said arms c after the said connecting-links are in place in the sockets of the pearl link are 'bent inward, as indi cated in Figs. 2, 3, and 10, closing the sockets for the connecting-links, so that the latter are held securely in piace within the pearl link. The connecting -links d are formed as shown in Fig. 8., in which at the opposite ends of the shank are shownfcross-heads d2, adapted to lie inside of the closed pearl, the said cross-heads being at their edges curved or inclined, as at d3, to more or less closely conform to the concave curvatures of the inside walls of the pearl.

When I desire to employjewels in connection with the links d, I ltorni a stone-setting d4 in connection with shanks cl', four of the said shanks being integrally united with a plate of metal recessed to receive the stone and provided with stone-holding fingers d5, adapted to be bent around the edges of the stone after the fashion of an ordinary stonesetting. In the formation of the cloth the stones may take the place of certain of the pearls iirst described, .as indicated in the drawings, and thus give ornamental character to the bag, and the arrangement of the stonesettings may be varied at will, so as to make a greater variety in the ornamentation of the bag. f

It is evident that the shape of the pearl may be varied at will and be given a diamond or other shape in face ornamentation.

Having thus described the invention, what I claiml as new ism Ico' 1. The combination, in a metal cloth, of said sockets and the cross-heads in the conconcavo-convex plates each having at its pecave interior of said links with arms, subriphery a series of arms bent backwardly and stantially as set forth. inwardly, and connecting-links with oros's- In testimony that I claim the foregoing I 15 5 heads at opposite ends joiningone plate wilh have hereunto set my hand this 18th day of another, substantially as set forth. April, 1901.
